About Us
Experian is the world’s leading global information services company. During life’s big moments — from buying a home or a car to sending a child to college to growing a business by connecting with new customers — we empower consumers and our clients to manage their data with confidence.
We have 20,000 people operating across 44 countries. By investing in our people, technology and innovation, we can help transform businesses, help communities prosper, enable more people to feel included in the financial opportunities that should be available to them, and help people to thrive. We're looking for inspired employees that want to make an impact on people and business.
Today’s digital, data-fueled economy means many businesses are struggling to extract the right level of insight to empower their operations and decision-making strategies. At Experian, we are committed to find a solution whereby banks and other financial service providers could maximize data – specifically Open Banking data and transactional data sharing – to better inform decisions.
The Team
Reporting into the CFO EMEA & APAC, the EMEA & APAC Accounting and Control team are the gatekeepers of Finance in the region. Responsibility for implementation and adherence to Group and Local Accounting standards is only part of it; the team play a key part in:
The Role
Managing the internal and external control environment including the regional Statutory accounts and Audit process, you will be responsible for providing leadership to the EMEA & APAC Accounting and Control team in the markets and GFS across the region. Given the nature of EMEA & APAC as a diverse and growing region there is a significant opportunity to grow this role and expand your network as we embark on journey to controllership excellence across the region and the group.
Given the recently announced merge of the EMEA & APAC regions, the role holder will play an important role in supporting the convergence of the two regions on the journey to become a single operating unit.
Much more than a solely technical role you will be responsible for driving the team composition and controllership strategy, representing a real opportunity to blend technical expertise, partnering and process transformation, whilst leading a significant team. Alongside the Head of FP&A you will also be responsible for managing our key external partner relationships with EY as our accounting provider and KPMG as Auditor.
In terms of interactions the role is a highly visible part of the EMEA Finance and wider Group controllership cohort with significant exposure to: Regional CFO, EMEA & APAC FLT and Group Financial Reporting, Tax, Treasury, Local Finance Directors and on occasion the Group Financial Controller. This role is perfect for those wishing to expand their technical knowledge as pursuit of further specialism or equally a rounding out of experience in a fast-paced region with scope to make an impact.
